This is the second time we’ve stayed here with our two dogs. The beachfront location is great, and the local seafood markets have great local options. Great place to stay for a relaxing getaway!

Thank you for the kind review, Alan. We hope your pups had a great time. We also think our seafood markets rock :) Look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We had a nice stay at Somewhere on the beach home. It was clean and had great views and access to the ocean. We would recommend upgrading the two chairs in the living room soon to the owners as they were a bit wobbly. :) The house was well stocked with pretty much all you need in the kitchen. Plenty of beach chairs and games as well. Would stay again.

Thank you, Jodie! We’re glad the house was a great fit for your family and that you enjoyed a quiet stay on Oak Island! We’d love to host you again anytime!
We go to the beach to be "on the beach". This property is as close as we have ever found. All the rest is just icing on the cake. Kitchen was better than advertised - more utensils than most chefs. Perhaps the best part is the "totally covered deck" area. I spent morning, noon and evening there listening to the sound of the ocean. For the sun lovers, those two deck chairs outside the porch were always occupied. All in all it was an 11!!

The place was great, and we had a great stay. It was a little windy while we were there, so having the deck was really nice. Had some great local seafood too. Would stay there again!

This was a most relaxing vacation home to stay in. Easy walk to the beach. This time of the year was very peaceful, not crowded at all. Wonderful restaurants in the area. If I’m back in the area again will definitely check on availability!Terri

While the location was very nice. The house was not the best for the amount we paid. The entire house NEEDS a top to bottom thorough cleaning!! So much dust on stuff especially the mini blinds, appears as if they have NEVER been wiped down since being installed. Have the cleaning crew never heard of a Swiffer? . Will not rent from iTrip again. Response from off hours agent was good with a tv issue. Not a good value for the money.

Fantastic house! Someone loves this home and takes care of it. Pros: right on the beach, kitchen well stocked, clean, furniture in good shape overall, dog friendly, close to mini mart, nice cover on sofa Cons: ceiling fan could use a wipe down, No room darkening curtains in bedrooms.

Nice place, comfy beds and furniture. Loved the dogs wash and the porch with a gate. Nice supplied kitchen. Loved having beach chairs to use instead of bringing from home. We will definitely keep on our list of places to stay in Oak Island.

Great mothers day getaway
The house was great. We found everything we needed in the kitchen too which is rare. We loved the porch and so did the dogs. Great views and clean and cozy house. Great surf fishing too. Check in and check out were smooth. We will be back for sure.

this is the perfect beach house with amazing views. It is in a good location to some outstanding restaurants. The view is worth it on the porch overlooking the ocean. Just a few steps to the beach and fur baby friendly. James was great with communication. The home is updated and very clean. We hope to return again soon!
Loved the house, the location. Unfortunately for us neighbors in a 3 story next to us were trying to relive their college years with loud, drunken parties that ran to the legal limit of 11 pm.
The property management was top notch and very responsive to requests.
We're strongly considering putting this rental in our beachfront seasonal rotation.
